The mystical place with a spreading Violet galaxy was unusually quiet.

Daimira gently clasped her trembling hands together.

It sounded crazy, but she couldn't help but believe it.

"Juny... are you saying that right here, in this city, they are trying to... summon a God?"

It sounded crazy, unbelievable, but Daimira's palms sweated because of the slim possibility that it's the truth.

Juny, feeling the atmosphere, gently shook her head.

"It might not be to that extent. Maybe they're just trying to summon part of the powers to do a partial possession."

"How is that better?"

Degster spoke up, his voice unusually irritated.

"People will die. Innocent people will die."

Ellone bit her lip, nodding.

"We have to contact the Church, they might be able to lower the amount of losses."

Juny leaned back.

"Will they believe us? Will they be able to keep it under the wraps? What if they have someone corrupted or someone who worships this Evil God? What if they turn against us. We might end up imprisoned. And we can't stay out of it either."

Juny's words were like sharp knifes.

The sentences were reasonable and filled with undoubtable truth, that's why they hurt so much.

Juny sighed.

"I will monitor closely, we need to know how long we have. If we have more than a month, we can try persuading the Church, but otherwise..."

Darmine slowly nodded.

"Seems like I need to hire more helpers..."

Juny looked at her, feeling guilty.

"I'm sorry."

Daimira gently shook her head.

"Don't, you'll be providing the Potion ingredients."

'Pft.'

Juny smiled, did the cat really just throw a joke her way?

She leaned back, looking at the 'ceiling'.

"Huuh... alright!"

'Clap!'

Juny clapped her hands, making most of those present flinch.

"Let's end it here for today! We'll be quite busy, so get some sleep and some rest, we'll meet again tomorrow."

She then turned to Shake and Kein.

"You two, you don't have to come as you're not in the city."

Shake frowned.

"We'll be participating in the fight tho, right?"

Juny opened and closed her mouth a few times.

"Do you have to?"

"Of course!"

Juny flinched before raising her hands.

"Alright, forget I said anything."

She then looked around.

"I'll see you tomorrow, 9pm."

Everyone exchanged glances before standing up.

Brielle seemed dazed, but wasn't slow to stand up this time.
